Show my Realtime Forex Data Startup to Quantopian

http://forexnotions.com/

The idea is simple: put together freshest Forex signals, market triggers, news and events. Choose currency pair you're interested in and get latest thoughts on it. Updates every 3 minutes. Data taken from XML/RSS, and Html pages(by scraping).

I spent 4 days on it during weekends. The implementation is quite raw, but enough for prototype quality, I hope so. Next things to do: gather & combine order book data, linkback signals sources, add more data sources, then... I dunno yet, so please use feedback form on the site if you have an idea.

Alexander - thanks for sharing! I'd like to hear a bit more about your implementation. Is your goal to provide only a user interface for the aggregated data, or do you plan a programmatic interface too?

Hi John! Thanks for the great words!

The project implemented with Scala + Play 2.1 + Reactive Mongo + Akka for scraping scheduling and control flow + own framework for scraping(will be opensourced soon). BootMetro theme from aozora.github.com/bootmetro/

I will implement API in case of interest. For now it's just a weekend project of mine.
